      Years ago, in an interview, I asked Almudena Grandes what happiness was for her, and she answered “a bottle of wine, and two glasses”. She was wonderful. I agree with her 💯%… although I would add “and some white shrimps”.

      Sorry if I’m repeating myself 🧄, I’ve already shared shrimp here some times… but I’m coming back from a trip exhausted and I find this at home, and I get nostalgic 🥹.

        What a beautiful quote and so simple yet profound! A bottle of wine, two glasses, and some white shrimps sounds like pure happiness to me too. No need to apologize for sharing shrimp love again… sometimes comfort food is exactly what the soul needs after a long trip. Hope you get to relax and enjoy every bite!

        Love

          @undefined thanks, sis. I know you understand just as well as I do the happiness and peacefulness of those moments 💞.

          What a delight to come home to a dish like this. The prawns look very fresh and the point of cooking seems just right: firm, juicy, with that rosy color so appetizing. The set-up, although simple, transmits warmth and truth, with that classic crockery that adds nostalgia.
          what techniques do you usually use to cook them: steaming, boiling, grilling…? I’d love to know how you decide what’s just right for you.
          And by the way, those little homemade customs like this are also part of our culinary identity. don’t underestimate their value! 💙

          Love

            @undefined no puedo estar más de acuerdo en que la identidad culinaría también está formada de pequeñas costumbres casedas 🥰

            Respecto a las gambas, las compramos ya cocidas si son para comer tal cual, sin añadir nada más, como mucho las acompañamos con un poco de mayones, para mojar alguna.

            Si las compro crudas, las preparo a la plancha, con un poco de zumo de limón o con ajo y oerejil picados

            You have very good reasons to be sappy, I love the combination of wine and prawns.

            I had breakfast today with Iberian ham, pate, a couple of glasses of cava and coffee.

            I love being spoiled jajajaaaa

          • If they are a few shrimps from Huelva, and a wine to go with them, there is nothing more to say. Absolute perfection. You can repeat as many times as you want and you can even invite 😂😂.

            ¡Qué maravilla volver a casa y encontrarte con este festín! 🦐
            Y qué lujo haberte cruzado con Almudena Grandes en persona… ¡yo leí “Modelos de mujer” y me fascinó! Esa frase suya resume una filosofía de vida simple pero poderosa, y tú la has elevado con esas gambas blancas magníficas.
            La luz natural y el encuadre transmiten calma, como si estuviéramos en tu mesa. ¿Cuál sería tu maridaje ideal para este momento: algo fresco y seco o te animas con una manzanilla bien fría? 😌
            Gracias por compartir esta escena tan auténtica… y si te repites como el 🧄, que sea muchas veces más, porque da gusto verte por aquí.

            Love

              @soldamiani si, fue hace bastantes años, cuando trabajaba en radio. Entonces hacía muchas entrevistas.

              Me fascinó esta respuesta… y en general, toda ella. Una mujer arrolladora, y al tiempo, tan sencilla y educada 🥰

              …y gracias por tus palabras, Sol… me llegan a la patata 💓

              Love
